Description Fedora Release Engineering 2017-02-17 14:59:55 UTC 
Your package libgda failed to build from source in current rawhide.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 11:45:07 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
Comment 5 Fabio Valentini 2018-01-03 19:19:57 UTC 
libgda still fails to build (fedora 25, 26, 27, rawhide).

The last successful build was libgda-5.2.2-11.fc24.x86_64, for the fedora 24 (!) mass rebuild, according to koji - which is the package that is available right now on f24+, as it hasn't seen updates or successful rebuilds since.

This is starting to cause problems, as the package and its subpackages are starting to cause dependency conflicts, e.g. with mariadb-libs.

Fixes the various files where the file encoding is not UTF-8.

This is the first in a series of patches to make libgda build on F27 (and probably other Fedora revisions).

The utf8 patch correct the file encoding for various C and header files which need to be processed by the gnome utilities which are strict about utf-8 encoding.  The developper names were using a variety of encodings, all now normalized to UTF-8.  Note that only the files that need to be processed by the gnome utilities have been corrected.

Adjust to new openssl API.

This is the second in a series of patches to make libgda build on F27 (and probably other Fedora revisions).

The openssl patch adjusts the libgda code to the new openssl API.

Locate the firebird includes at the right location.

This is the third in a series of patches to make libgda build on F27 (and probably other Fedora revisions).

Libgda can now be built with firebird support.
This patch fixes the build process.

Changes to spec file

This is the fourth and last in a series of patches to make libgda build on F27 (and probably other Fedora revisions).

This patches the spec file:
- apply utf8 patch
- apply firebird patch
- apply openssl patch
- created a libgda-firebird subpackage
- disabled --with-system-sqlite=yes as it breaks libgda's build
Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:34:34 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Comment 12 Kalev Lember 2018-12-04 17:40:06 UTC 
I've spent some time today working on libgda and making it build again. The itstool issue mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1604587 still remains (I did some build system hackery to build it with an older itstool), but otherwise it should now be in a bit less sorry state. Feel free to open PRs and CC me there if there's anything else you'd like fixed there (I'm not libgda maintainer, just doing drive by fixes).
Comment 13 Fedora Update System 2018-12-04 17:42:02 UTC 
libgda-5.2.8-1.fc29 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 29. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-7993c4e097

The itstool issue can be sidelined by using python2 instead of python3, as in:
  make %{?_smp_mflags} ITSTOOL="python2 $(which itstool)"

Ahh, thanks!
Comment 17 Fabio Valentini 2018-12-06 19:56:58 UTC 
This is awesome.
I couldn't get it to work even if my life depended on it.

Thanks, Kalev, for working on this!
